Exeter finished the regular season top of the table for the first time, achieving their best-ever points haul.

The Devon side are aiming to secure a place in the final for the third successive year, while fourth-placed Newcastle are in the play-offs for the first time following their best league finish since winning the Premiership title in 1998.

The winners will face either Saracens or Wasps in the final at Twickenham on Saturday, 26 May.
